Bobby Petrino is one helluva offensive coach. Running several schemes with several types of athletes, his teams have always found a way to generate points. It’s the other side of the ball where the Rough Ridin’ Romeo has never been the most attentive. No where has that been more apparent than at his return stop in Louisville.
There were issues on that side of that ball that derailed two marvelous seasons by the offense and Heisman Winner Lamar Jackson. This year in particular the Cards were consistently blah: Luhvl surrendered 47 offensive touchdowns (70th scoring defense), were 62nd in total defense, 70th against the pass, 62nd in TFL, 62nd in sacks generated, 53rd in interceptions, 96th in red zone defense, and 63rd in run defense, surrendering 4.
